1.2 Recommendation:

The standing committee further recommends that the Government of Nunavut’s response to this report clarify its position concerning the establishment of a Qulliq Fuel Corporation.

Government of Nunavut’s Response (CGS):

A comprehensive analysis of possible options for Community and Government Service’s Petroleum Products Division (CGS-PPD) is being conducted with a focus on the following options:

• Remain within CGS but undertake significant changes to its organizational structure, including transitioning to a commission similar to the Nunavut Liquor Commission structure; • Transition to a subsidiary corporation under Qulliq Energy Corporation; • Transition to a solely independent crown corporation; and • Transition to a new independent Government of Nunavut department or a new department merging with other branches of government.

CGS-PPD retained a consultant who is conducting a review of the options. A steering committee consisting of senior officials from the Departments of Executive and Intergovernmental Affairs, Finance, Justice, Community and Government Services (including PPD), and Qulliq Energy Corporation is providing oversight. A working group will be established in fall 2019 to look more closely at options one and two. It is anticipated that a final report will be completed by March 31, 2020.

2. Human Resources Management 2.1 Recommendation:

The standing committee recommends that that the Government of Nunavut’s response to this report describe, in detail, the results of the Qulliq Energy Corporation’s review of its human resources policies that was referred to in its 2017-2021 and 2018-2021 corporate plans.

Government of Nunavut’s Response (QEC):

The Human Resources (HR) Division of QEC completed an analysis of all internal policies to identify conflicts and ensure compliance with:

• The Government of Nunavut’s Human Resources Manual (HRM); • The Collective Agreement between QEC and the Nunavut Employees Union (NEU); and • The Nunavut Public Service Act and Regulations.

This analysis was used to ascertain required policy development and revisions to rectify the identified gaps and better align with the HRM, as well as addressing QEC’s unique operational requirements.

Policies within the HRM have an applicability statement that expressly includes or excludes certain employees, departments, boards, or agencies from the policy requirements. Some applicability statements specifically include QEC, while others are more ambiguous. For policies where QEC are not expressly included, the corporation is still required to use the HRM if internal policies and procedures have not been established in that area. For policies that QEC are directed to follow, supplemental provisions may be developed if they do not contradict the HRM.

For detailed information about QEC’s review of HR policies, please see Appendix “A”.

2.2 Recommendation:

The standing committee further recommends that the Government of Nunavut’s response to this report describe, in detail, the Qulliq Energy Corporation’s casual staffing process, including the process for advertising casual employment opportunities; clarify the extent to which the process conforms to Directive 515 (“Casual Employment”) of the Government of Nunavut’s Human Resources Manual; and provide a detailed listing of casual appointments made during the 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 fiscal years.

Government of Nunavut’s Response (QEC):

QEC’s temporary hiring process mirrors the Government of Nunavut’s casual staffing process as the corporation’s hiring is conducted pursuant to the Nunavut Public Service Act. Supplemental provisions for the temporary hiring process have been developed. These provisions take into consideration operational requirements and differences within QEC’s Collective Agreement.

For detailed information about the provisional differences between Human Resources Manual Directive 515 and QEC’s temporary hiring process, please see Appendix “B”.

Like the Government of Nunavut, QEC receives and accepts resumes for temporary employment opportunities and maintains a collection of potential hires. If a suitable applicant is not located within these resumes, QEC’s HR Division will post job advertisements on the corporation’s and Government of Nunavut’s websites, as well as other industry specific job boards.

QEC hired 54 temporary employees in 2017-18 and 46 temporary employees in 2018-19. For a detailed listing of these temporary hires, please see Appendix “C”.

2.3 Recommendation:

The standing committee further recommends that the Qulliq Energy Corporation make its corporate and human resources policies publicly available through posting on its website.

Government of Nunavut’s Response (QEC):

QEC ensures that all public policies are published on their website. Internal corporate policies will be made accessible to all employees across Nunavut through QEC’s new intranet network, which is expected to be completed in 2020.

2.4 Recommendation:

The standing committee further recommends that the Government of Nunavut’s response to this report provide, in a comparable format to that which was included in Return to Written Question 3-5(2), a detailed breakdown of the Qulliq Energy Corporation’s expenditures on overtime pay during the 2017- 2018 and 2018-2019 fiscal years; and that this information be included in future annual reports of the Qulliq Energy Corporation.

Government of Nunavut’s Response (QEC):

For a detailed breakdown of QEC’s expenditures on overtime pay during the 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 fiscal years, please see Appendix “D”. QEC commits to providing overtime expenditures in a comparable format in future annual reports.

3. Reviews of the Nunavut Electricity Subsidy Program, the Public Housing Support Program, and the Affordable Energy Fund 3.1 Recommendation:

The standing committee recommends that the Government of Nunavut’s response to this report include a detailed update on the status of its review of the Nunavut Electricity Subsidy Program.

Government of Nunavut’s Response (FIN & QEC):

The Department of Finance and QEC are working together to explore and identify areas of the Nunavut Electricity Subsidy Program that may require modification. The review, which is still ongoing, is examining options related to program’s rate structure and kilowatt-hour (kWh) usage eligibility thresholds to ensure they are appropriate and effective, and that they support relatively equal costs across the territory. Work has included gathering data around monthly household usage and electricity costs in communities.

3.2 Recommendation:

The standing committee further recommends that the Government of Nunavut’s response to this report include a detailed update on the status of the Public Housing Support Program, including the current status of arrears.

Government of Nunavut’s Response (NHC & QEC):

QEC administers the Nunavut Housing Corporation’s Public Housing Support Subsidy Program (PHSSP). This program subsidizes qualifying residential customers living in public housing by supplementing the difference between the approved residential rate and 6.0 cents per kWh. There are no plans to modify the program at this time.

QEC invoices the Nunavut Housing Corporation on a monthly basis for the power subsidies and applies the remaining amount, billed at 6.0 cents per kWh, to individual customer invoices. As of May 2019, the total number of accounts under PHSSP was 5356 with PHSSP customer arrears over 90+ days due totaling $788,283.

3.3 Recommendation:

The standing committee further recommends that the Government of Nunavut’s response to this report include a detailed update on the status of the Affordable Energy Fund.

Government of Nunavut’s Response (FIN):

The Government of Nunavut has not created an Affordable Energy Fund, as described in section 39.1 of the Qulliq Energy Corporation Act. Alternatively, the Government of Nunavut subsidizes electricity costs for residents and small businesses through the Nunavut Electricity Subsidy Program. In July 2019, the GN

7 introduced a new Nunavut Carbon Rebate to subsidize the cost of fossil fuels. Together, these two programs significantly reduce energy costs for Nunavummiut.

The Department of Finance pays for these territorial energy subsidies out of its Centrally Administered Funds branch using funds appropriated by the Legislative Assembly for this purpose. Due to these existing supports, there are no plans to establish an Affordable Energy Fund at this time.

4. Environmental Remediation of Contaminated Sites 4.1 Recommendation:

The standing committee recommends that the Government of Nunavut’s response to this report include a detailed update on the status of remediation work in relation to the Qulliq Energy Corporation’s inventory of 27 contaminated sites.

Government of Nunavut’s Response (QEC):

QEC has identified 27 sites where the concentration of petroleum hydrocarbons and other pollutants in the soil exceed environmental standards. The majority of contamination of these sites occurred when Northern Canada Power Commission was responsible for these areas. QEC has estimated that remediation would cost approximately $39 million total.

QEC has a monitoring program in place to ensure that the contaminated sites do not pose harm to public health or the environment. Remediation of sites will occur if a Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment (HHERA) determines that public health is at risk. This is an annual assessment where a soil sample is taken from multiple locations at each site and is analysed to see if the contamination is accelerating, attenuating, or moving.

In 2015, one HHERA located contaminants that posed a risk to public health. This site, located at the decommissioned power plant in Baker Lake, showed volatile hydrocarbons had risen to the surface. The environmental engineering consultant procured by QEC recommended that this area be land-farmed to reduce contamination.

Land-farming is a remediation method whereby contaminated soil is placed in a leak-proof liner, tilled loosely, and nutrients are added. Over a three to five year period, as the contamination attenuates, the remediated soil is removed from the pile and used as industrial fill. Land-farming is often the most economical method of remediating soil depending on the location within Nunavut.

It was originally estimated that there would be 50 cubic metres of soil to remediate at the Baker Lake site. However, after excavation the volume was determined to be 350 cubic metres. In 2018, QEC decided to double the size of the land-farm cell to hold the extra soil at the recommendation of the consultant. Due to the expansion of the land-farm over a two-year period, 2019 is the first year of maintenance which includes sampling, tilling, and nourishing.

As of August 2019, the location in Baker Lake is the only site that has posed a potential risk to public health.

4.2 Recommendation:

The standing committee further recommends that the Government of Nunavut’s response to this report include a detailed chronology of actions taken by the Government of Nunavut and the Qulliq Energy Corporation since April 1, 2015, to resolve outstanding jurisdictional issues with the Government of

Canada related to responsibility for the Qulliq Energy Corporation’s inventory of contaminated sites that were inherited from the Northern Canada Power Commission.

Government of Nunavut’s Response (DOJ):

Since April 1, 2015, there have been no additional developments to resolve outstanding jurisdictional issues with the Government of Canada related to responsibility for QEC’s inventory of contaminated sites that were inherited from the Northern Canada Power Commission and the Northwest Territories.

5. Alternative Energy and the Arctic Energy Fund 5.1 Recommendation:

The standing committee recommends that the Government of Nunavut’s response to this report include a detailed update on the status of its “action plan for the territory’s renewable energy priorities and targets.”

Government of Nunavut’s Response (DOE):

The Department of Environment, through the Climate Change Secretariat, is collaborating with key departments to identify priorities, concrete actions, timelines, costs, and implementation plans for climate change strategies. These strategies aim to take action on Nunavut’s greenhouse gas emissions, reliance on diesel fuel, and role in adapting to, and combatting climate change. In order to develop an evidence based action plan, the Climate Change Secretariat has initiated a variety of foundational projects. These projects – which include community energy planning, an inventory of greenhouse gas emissions, and examining alternative energy options – will support the Government of Nunavut's ability to identify realistic and reasonable greenhouse gas emission targets.

The Climate Change Secretariat is working to build internal capacity to address the Auditor General of Canada’s recommendation to develop a formal action plan for the territory’s renewable energy priorities and targets. Once completed, this plan will lay out the targeted goals for greenhouse gas emissions, infrastructure improvements, and other mechanisms to combat climate change.

5.2 Recommendation:

The standing committee further recommends that the Government of Nunavut’s response to this report include a detailed update on the status of the Qulliq Energy Corporation’s net metering and independent power producer programs, including the number and location of participants and/or projects to date.

Government of Nunavut’s Response (QEC):

Net Metering Program Independent Power Producers Program Overview The Net Metering Program allows eligible QEC The Independent Power Producers (IPP) Program customers to produce their own electricity using will allow power producers outside of QEC to renewable generation systems. In turn, the generate electricity using renewable energy customer receives credit for any surplus power systems.
